It's interesting how LAION-400M, an open-access dataset for democratized AI, was used to train this model which will seemingly never be truly available in its full capacity for the lay population. Is it time for open-access datasets to consider licensing measures to prevent this?
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 4y agoMore restrictive licensing wouldn’t be enough. This stuff is sufficiently transformative to count as fair use without any permission at all from the data owner. New laws will be required for stuff like this.

- 6gvONxR4sf7o 4y agoBut then what about training on hacker news comments, for example? Without permission from ycombinator or the posters, there’s even less permission than any curated dataset could provide or revoke.
